[Hiring] Prompt Engineer, AI @Herbalife

Role Description

Unlock the full potential of large language models and generative AI by designing, refining, and scaling prompt strategies that produce accurate, reliable, and high-value AI outputs. In this role, you’ll sit at the intersection of human intent and machine intelligence, translating complex business needs into well-structured prompt frameworks that guide AI systems toward consistent, safe, and meaningful results. You’ll continuously experiment, optimize, and evolve prompts to improve model performance across real-world use cases.

As an AI Prompt Engineer, you’ll blend technical understanding of AI behavior with creative problem-solving to build reusable, production-ready prompt patterns that power AI-driven solutions at scale — ensuring outputs meet quality, safety, and business standards.

How You Would Contribute:

• Design and optimize prompts for large language models (LLMs) and generative AI systems to achieve specific business outcomes
• Develop timely engineering frameworks and guidelines for different AI use cases and applications
• Test and iterate on prompts systematically to improve accuracy, consistency, and output quality
• Build prompt templates and libraries that enable reusable, scalable AI solutions across the organization
• Implement prompt chaining and multi-step reasoning approaches for complex AI tasks
• Design and optimize retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems combining prompts with knowledge bases
• Evaluate AI model outputs against quality criteria and implement improvement strategies
• Conduct prompt injection testing and implement safeguards against adversarial inputs
• Collaborate with developers to integrate prompts into applications and workflows
• Monitor production prompt performance and implement versioning and A/B testing strategies
• Document prompt patterns, techniques, and findings for team knowledge sharing
• Stay current with LLM capabilities, limitations, and best practices across different models
• Provide guidance on prompt engineering to data scientists, developers, and business users
• Analyze failure modes and edge cases, developing strategies to improve robustness
• Implement ethical AI practices ensuring prompts produce fair, unbiased, and safe outputs
• Make decisions on prompt strategies, model selection, and optimization approaches for AI applications

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in AI/ML, NLP, or software development with significant focus on working with LLMs and generative AI; demonstrated expertise in prompt engineering
• Prompt engineering and prompt design for LLMs (GPT, Claude, Llama, etc.)
• Understanding of transformer architectures and how LLMs process language
• Natural language processing and computational linguistics
• Systematic testing and experimentation methodologies
• AI safety and responsible AI practices
• Proven track record to craft prompts that consistently produce high-quality, reliable AI outputs
• Deep understanding of LLM capabilities, limitations, and behaviors
• Experience with various prompting techniques (few-shot learning, chain-of-thought, etc.)
• Strong analytical skills to evaluate and improve prompt performance
• Creative problem-solving to find innovative solutions using AI
• Programming in Python for prompt automation and testing
• Experience with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure OpenAI, etc.)
• Knowledge of RAG architectures and vector databases
• Understanding of fine-tuning and model customization
• Familiarity with LLM evaluation frameworks and metrics
• Experience with prompt management tools and platforms
• Knowledge of conversational AI and chatbot design
